However, a new video game console from an anonymous person is sent to Mordecai and Rigby. Later, when they both decide play with the console, the TV opens into portal and sucks them in to the game.

Mordecai and Rigby travel through the game, defeating enemies they encountered in their past adventures. Eventually, they reach an 8-bit version of Exit 9B, created by Garett Bobby Ferguson and his son.

The duo decide play the game again instead.
